Troubleshooting: Existing Decorative Slabs
I am a California architect and read about decorative concrete at the World of Concrete. Are there processes that can be used on existing concrete floors to make them more decorative?

I would like to incorporate decorative concrete on commercial and residential remodeling projects.
